There is definitely hope. As another put it, it has a way of weeding out the superficial (aka boring) girls. Been with my wife for 10 years. Despite what society tries to push as being a desirable man (muscles, luxury cars, money) a lot of women want an honest, compassionate man who treats them with respect. I get down on myself about my stutter all the time, but my wife says it’s endearing. My best advice is to focus on loving yourself, work to give yourself the best life you can, then the right person will come along for the right reasons.
